Everyone in the room heard the noise and turned around. It was Mayor Horton who had accidentally broken the teacup.
They immediately turned their heads back. After all, it was a very embarrassing thing for the City Lord to accidentally break a cup, so they couldn't keep staring at it.
"Who are you?
What are you doing here? "
These officials looked at Zhang Xing at the door, and one of them said coldly.
"You don't know me?"
Zhang Xing asked curiously.
In the room, except for Horton and Jere who opened the door, everyone else was new.
As the saying goes, a new Lord brings in new officials. Horton took the appointment letter and replaced all the officials in the Mayor's Mansion with his trusted aides.
These people were all transferred from his family's businesses in various cities, so they had no chance to know Zhang Xing.
"Know you?
Who do you think you are? The Mayor is in a meeting. Get out! "
An official said disdainfully. Now that Mayor Horton was the boss here, they didn't need to give face to anyone else.
"Where did this little bastard come from? This is the Mayor's Mansion. Don't you know you can't barge in?
Ask the guards to kick him out. "
"Jere, go and call the Captain of the Guards. Ask him if he still wants to work."
"Kid, what's your name?
Which family are you from?
I'll teach your father a good … "
"Slap, slap, slap!"
Before the official finished his words, Horton stepped forward and slapped him three times in the face and kicked him.
Plop!
The official fell to the ground and covered his swollen face with his hands. He looked at the Mayor in confusion.
"Why did you hit me?
Are you crazy?
I didn't do anything wrong! "
He felt so wronged that he wanted to cry.
Looking at City Lord Horton, he still hadn't stopped. He even gave those people who had spoken a beating and kicked them.
"How dare you!
How dare you disrespect Lord Zhang. Are you tired of living? Do you want to die? "
Horton was panting and sweating profusely.
"Lord Zhang?
Which Lord Zhang? "
They racked their brains but couldn't think of any Lord Zhang in the Star Empire that could make Mayor Horton pay so much attention to him.
Oh no!
It should be said that he was scared, and he was scared to death.
Horton didn't bother to wipe off the sweat on his face. He straightened his clothes, put on a flattering smile on his face, and bowed in a noble greeting.
"Haha!
Why didn't you inform me that Lord Zhang was coming back? I could have gone to welcome you personally! "
"I've just taken office. Although I'm busy with work, I must receive you as soon as possible. Everything else can wait."
In Horton's opinion, Zhang Xing was once his student, so there was no need for him to lower his voice and treat him as an equal.
As for why Zhang Xing was still alive, he planned to ask later.
Let's chat a little to ease the atmosphere.
Although Zhang Xing was the City Lord, that was already a thing of the past.
He was afraid that Zhang Xing would fly into a rage and beat him up regardless of the situation.
"This city lord?
Who gave the order? "
Zhang Xing walked into the house and said coldly.
This mentor who had once slandered him actually had his eyes on the huge cake that was Redbud City. His ability to move around was quite strong.
"This … It was the unanimous decision of the elders to appoint me to take over your position."
Horton looked at Zhang Xing nervously, and cold sweat flowed down his face again.
He hadn't seen Zhang Xing for more than a year, and his aura was too strong.
Just a few sentences made him feel pressured, and it was difficult for him to even breathe.
He had heard so many rumors about Zhang Xing that he had calluses on his ears.
He didn't want to hear it, but everywhere he went, there was talk about Zhang Xing. It was hard not to hear it.
"Why didn't I know?
Bring your men back and ask them if the Elders Guild made a mistake. "
"You must have heard wrongly. Alright, you can leave now."
Zhang Xing waved his hand and walked to the City Lord's seat and sat down.
